The leak was just a bolt that was a thread to long and it didnt seat the drain flange.

Redid 1 of the heater core hoses, there wasnt enough room under the turbo for both.





Got the filter from K and N today as well...only company i could find a 6 inch inlet filter for a decent price, 46 dollars to my door with the clamp.



Paint on my home made oil catch can is drying tonight, might get that done tomorrow and i will have everything done.

So far im happy with the install its not as fancy as some i have seen on the site but i think it is very user friendly if something was to go wrong.

 

Finished the catch can.






If it holds up it will work, if not i will get a new one.

 

Long story short my NEW trans had been sent back 2 times for issues...today i replaced the valvebody (the builder fucked up installing the hd 2 kit) so it shifts now, and has reverse...but 3rd has a shutter and 4th slips in and out.

so here is a video of me beating on a new transmission

Timing is set to 14 degrees and afr is everywhere. (this is a safe tune to drive it to test the work i have done it is in no way a tune for performance)

Spool time from a stand still


It feels slower then before...i think


ill do some tuning and get a stock trans with an hd-2 and see how it does.

 

Sweet build!

 

Any updates?

 

New 80e and Yank verter are in, truck doesnt seem to want to use 4th gear. Have a new harness on the way, i hope that fix's it.

If i can get the pictures off my other laptop (which crashed) ill post up some of the changes with the intercooler piping and the moved the factory coolant reservoir.

 

is that the factory oil fill cap that you used directly on the valve cover?

 

Yes it is.
